With all the 'spring cleaning' going on recently at google, my main concern would be the likelihood of this service staying available permanently.

As a pay service focused on businesses, I think they would keep it going.

I cannot get to it right now. :)

Unless if not enough businesses end up paying for it, so if yours does use it and they cancel it, you're screwed. Or if Google decides that while it makes a nice revenue, they'd rather killer to concentrate on something else...

That's the problem with putting out tons of products (including highly touted stuff like Wave) and then killing them, nobody trust you to maintain a product their business will depend on anymore... Contrast that with Amazon AWS.
